Comment:
Irrigated corn in the LTER Irrigated Resource Gradient Experiment (Irrigated N-rate Study).
Equipment used: Irrigated with the Valley 8000 Linear Irrigation System.
Amount of water applied: 0.95 inch of water was applied (as measured by six rain gauges)
Irrigation system delay setting: 21;
Irrigation pressure: 22 psi;
Pressure at the pump: 50 psi.
Time of application was between 9:50 a.m. - 11:45 a.m.
Weather conditions at 9:40 a.m. Cloudy , 68.6 °F, wind 4-9 mph (3m high 5 minute average wind speed was 4.67 mph) wind gust 9.23 mph, from the South, relative humidity 70.5%.

Meter reading at the start of irrigation event: 5,727,659.0;
Meter reading at the end of irrigation event: 5,737,833.6;
Total gallon of water used in this irrigation event (as measure by a in-line water meter): A minimum amount of 10,174.6 gallons of water was applied at time of irrigation.; The flow meter froze and stopped counting early on during irrigation event. The total should have been closer to 50,000 gallons judging off other recent irrigation events.
